Apollyon realized he was having an easier time breaking through the final acupoint than unlocking it yesterday, and that was because he received assistance from that surge of pure energy.
The pure energy was simply too potent, carrying even more intensity than the portion of his own power he was using to break through the acupoint.
If Apollyon could successfully unlock his final acupoint, the sliver of pure energy channeled into him by Zeke would be the major contributor to the accomplishment.
Finally, after only five minutes, Apollyon distinctly sensed he had activated half of the final acupoint.
The process of unlocking an acupoint was similar to how a flood breached a dam. In that analogy, power and energy were equivalent to the flood.
The power and energy gushed out from the half-activated acupoint, rapidly coursing through his body and limbs, filling up his every nerve and bone.
Moreover, the overflowing energy quickly nullified his pain and injuries until they ultimately vanished without a trace.
At that instant, limitless energy surged within him, causing him to feel as if his body was going to explode from being over-inflated with power.
Apollyon sensed that he was now twice as powerful as before, perhaps even more.
He was subconsciously aware that his current abilities were comparable to Calix's, and the possible slight disadvantage he might have against Calix was the lack of combat experience.
This is the real capability of a warrior! Mr. Williams is indeed exceptionally mighty. He managed to train and produce a great warrior using just a single night's time.
Apollyon looked at Zeke gratefully. “Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Williams.”
Zeke nodded slightly in response.
When his subordinates witnessed that scene, they suddenly realized something. Complex emotions churned within their chests as the word “guidance” surfaced in their minds.
Last night, when Zeke said he would provide Apollyon with some guidance to prepare the latter for his battle against Calix, the others were initially in disbelief and merely assumed Zeke was bluffing.
Unexpectedly, after one night, Apollyon's capabilities had improved drastically. He was now ten times—perhaps even a few hundred times—stronger than before.
At that moment, after receiving a piece of simple advice from Zeke, not only was Apollyon alleviated of his injuries, but the latter's temperament also underwent significant changes as his aura grew more intense.
Don't tell me Mr. Williams is truly capable of guiding someone to become a super-powerful warrior using just one night? If that's the case, are we able to become extraordinarily formidable too?
That thought prompted many of the team members to feel excited.
Most of them were even getting restless and impatient to become Zeke's apprentice.
They approached Zeke furtively and pleaded with him in an undertone, “Mr. Williams, may I know if you're still accepting disciples? On second thought, I'm willing to serve you as your slave in the future and do all your bidding as long as you provide me with some guidance.”
“To be honest, Mr. Williams, I'm actually very talented in martial arts. Regrettably, I've yet to encounter my benefactor thus far. However, I have a very strong feeling now that you are my benefactor.”
Zeke glanced at them and said, “We'll discuss this matter another time.”
The others immediately shut their mouths and did not dare to utter another word. The look Zeke had given them was too terrifying, prompting all of them to yield in cowardice.
Zeke had no plan of accepting them as his disciples, and the reason was that they lacked the qualifications.
The ten Decani, including Apollyon, were able to attain drastic improvements under my guidance because their daily cultivation had honed their capabilities to a critical point. I merely taught them how to unlock their acupoints, resulting in the boost of their abilities. On the other hand, most of the team members here are not even considered martial artists, so it would be almost impossible for them to gain any significant improvement. Of course, this is not entirely unachievable. If they were to consume large amounts of precious herbs or undergo modifications at Cygnus Room, they could still accomplish a similar outcome. However, these methods will incur a very expensive cost. Hence, no one would bother wasting time and resources on these people.
Apollyon took a deep breath and looked at Floretta affectionately. “Floretta, trust me. I will save you today, and I'll never leave your side ever again.”
Floretta gazed at him while wearing a tear-stricken face. Then, she nodded.
At that moment, she could sense a different aura enveloping Apollyon's body.
